There was an interesting fleet in Marblehead Harbor on Thur.sdav 

 evening and Friday morning, including the ma.iority of the new 

 Eastern boats, all under 30ft. in length, but none the less interesting 

 and instructive on that account. There is no use of talking of cruis- 

 ing accommodations or of desirable types so far as the 21ft. class is 

 concerned, speed, and speed only, is the sole consideration there, 

 and such craft as Hornet and Kraken, of 1890, or Sirocco, the new 

 Fowle boat, which may be classed as afi around boats, designed for 

 speed, but giving such' accommodation as may be had on 21ft., are 

 clearly out^of the racing beside the new fins and splashers. 



In ttie 30£t. class tCie same extreme has not yet been reached and 

 the two new boats must be classed as legitimate cruisers so far as 

 build and accommodations go. Handsel, the Herreshoff fin-keel, is 

 a very different craft from her 21ft. sisters, being designed for 

 general use, including the wioniug of prizes, bub her useful features 

 have been by no meaas sacrificed. The main eabiu is roomy and 

 most comfortable, with a reasonable amount of headroom, over 5ft , 

 under a low house, while the stowage room fore and «ft is pratically 

 unlimited, space for berths, lockers, pantries and galley, as well as 

 tor-anchors, gear, etc. The cockpit is roomy and quite deep, the 

 owner carrying his children with him in cruising; tho deck room is 

 ample, clean and unobstructed, the ing is light and compact, and 

 though 7ft. Sin, is a heavy draft in many places, in other respects 

 the yacht makes a handy and roomy craft. 



The other new ;30, Chapoiiuoit, is a Cape cat, an improved Har- 

 binger, but quite different from the usual bufld. Her bows have 

 been run out to a shovel, she carries a permanent bowsprit, and she 

 is rigged as a pole-masted sloop, although the mast is stepped at the 

 end of the waterline. Her aimensioiis are: Length over all 41ft. 

 6in., l.w.l. aaft. lOin., beam I4ft. 4in., draft 2ft. Sin. A low cabin 

 house gives over .5ft. headroom, with good width of floor on each 

 side of the long centerboard trunk. The cockpit is quite large, and 

 there is ample room for galley, stores, water, etc. Unlike Handsel, 

 she carries a club and jibtop?ail on her high pole mast. 



Friday m rning was warm and calm, but by noon there was a light 

 S.E. breeze, with a haze over the water. The steam yacht Corona, 

 with her owner, Mr. J. P. Cushing, and his fellow members of the 

 regatta committee, Messrs. Walter Lloyd Jeffries, N. H. Emmons and 

 F. Elliott Cabot, was at the line in good season, but owing to the 

 light wind the start was delayed as long as possible^ the signal for 

 first class being blown at la:15. Hawk and Chapoquoit were to wind- 

 ward of Handsel, her rig being dwarfed by their clubtopsails; while 

 Climax was to leeward. Chapoquoit was moving faster than the 

 others, and she and Hawk were soon clear of Handsel, tbe latter 

 luffing up and lying on the line for a moment before flihng away 

 again and starting. By the time the four were fairly under way a 

 thick fog was rolling in from the sea, and wiihin five minutes they 

 were lost to sight from the judges' boat. The nine starters in the 25ft. 

 class made a good start, all carrying toosails, but the fun began when 

 the 21-footers came for the line five minutes later, a baker's dozen of 

 them, all on the same tack and crowding for the weather end. The 

 only rule recognized was the unwritten one, "Pu.sh vour bowsprit in 

 where you can and push your boat in anywhere that your bowsprit 

 can enter.'" Such trivial details as overlaps and right of way were 

 entirely disregarded, and there was a general scrimmage throughout 

 tbe fleet. The yachts were bumped together, one pushing the other, 

 and some were actually turned round by the crews of rival craft, who 

 seized them by bowsprit or boom end and endeavored to push their 

 own craft ahead. The third class cats started at 13:30 and the fourth 

 class at 12:35, after which nothing was visible but the dense fog. 

 The Judges' boat ran out to the first mark and timed the small yachts 

 as follows: 



Freak 1 15 50 Spurt 1 S9 46 



Alpha.... 1 18 20 Magpie .1 31 5i 



Thrush 1 19 46 Caprice 1 34 26

Seabii-d .1 26 48 Vision 1 42 00 



Black Cloud 1 28 ,50 Alpine 1 43 58 



White Fawn 1 38 55 



No times were taken at the Pigs, the steamer running to the line to 

 guide the yachts by her whistle. The fleet was timed on the first 

 round : 



Ereak 2 10 22 Black Cloud 2 31 05 



Alpha a 19 24 Pyxie 2 31 3S

Seabird 2 28 47 Koorali 2 47 05 



White Fawn 2 29 14 



Thrush was holding third place well; Pyxie had again drojjped to 

 the rear, the wind, though fresher than at the start, still being very 

 light. The 25ft. class, starting 5m. before, and with all the advan- 

 tages of toptails and larger sail plans, was well astern of the 21- 

 footers at the end of the round. Typhoon had sprungher mast below 

 deck, and withdrew at the end of the round. 



One by one the boats loomed up into view through the fog, were 

 visible for a minute as they trimmed in sheets and luffed around tne 

 markboat, and then disappeared entirely. Not until they were close 

 aboard tbe steam yacht was it possible to identify each, and the ex- 

 citement was much increased by the uncertainty. 



The judges' boat laid at the line sounding her whistle, and a long 

 and tedious wait followed, broken by the appearance of Thrush, 

 followed by Tadpole and Vanessa, from the direction in which they 

 had last di.s'appeared. All reported that they bad failed to fin. I the 

 outer mark. After them came other stragglers, until half of the 

 fleet had given up. When Alpha finally appeared, bunted closely by 

 Freak, she made for the line and crossed it, reporting that she had 

 found both marks. Freak at once set to work inditing a protest 

 against Alpha for setting two jibs at the same time. Hawk, Climax 

 and Handsel turned up late in the afternoon, having abandoned the 

 race, and it was supposed that Chapoquoit had done the same, but 

 she tlnally finished late in the afternoon, reporting that she bad com- 

 pleted the long course. The third class cats made the course, but 

 were over the time limit. About 4 :.30 the wind fell entirely, though 

 the fog was as thick as ever, the yachts as they came in having 

 trouble in making the harbor.

There was a promise of rain on Friday night, and a moderate N E. 

 wind in the morning, holding when the race started at 2 o'clock. 

 Catspaw took tbe start, with Alpha, Exile and Freak near her, the 

 first incident of the day being the parting of Freak's bobstay, send 

 ing her home before the race had farely begun. The course out of 

 the harbor was by the wind, the sheets were started for the run to 

 Pig Rocks, Thrush taking thiid place from Vanessa and then second 

 place from Catspaw, the times at the mark being:

On the first of the windward leg to Halfway Rock Alpha gained a 

 long lead on the fleet, but after a little time the breeze dropped, 

 finally dying away entirely and leaving the fleet scattered about, not 

 one reaching the Rock. Reaper came nearest to it, but even she 

 found that the time was too late for her to make the race within tbe 

 allotted limit, and she with the rest withdrew. The race m the cat 

 class was between Magpie and Madge. Koorali being a poor third .

The Yachting Situation at Chicago. 



Chicac+o. Ill,, July 25.— It is somethin.g of a mistake to think fbe 

 water sports of the Great Lake region as in their infancy, or as not 

 having reachtrl an advanced stage of development. It is true that 

 this development has been retarded, and will always be to some ex- 

 tent retarded by causes lying in tbe natural ^conditions of the 

 coimtry. It may be held back further by the fact that the country 

 of the Great Lakes is still practically new, and its men still busy. 

 Time will change much of this, and has already changed much of 

 it. There is a large body of men living along the thousands of mdes 

 of shoreline on these inland seas who know and enjoy the capabili- 

 ties of a sailing craft. In no section of the country is canoeing 

 growing so rapidly as here, and to say that;the water lovers of Cleve- 

 land, Detroit, Chicago, and many others of the larger lake ports will 

 not own yachts and sail them and race them and enjoy them, is to 

 convey an impression founded on mistake. 



So far from yachting being a new sport in Chicago, it is to the 

 contrary an olo sport, and one which has seen its best days, or rather 

 days better than those of the present. The outlook for the future is 

 more encouraging than for years back. In regard the yachting f-itu- 

 ation, past and present in Chicago, the Chicago Times of July 22 has 

 the loUowing sensible appropriate remarks: 



,i"Chicago is to have a yachting revival. Time was when it had a 

 couple of as energetic and sportsmanlike yacht clubs as any city. 

 At all events there has been a decadence in yacht sailing for many 

 years past. From time to time there were faint attempts to re- 

 establish good clubs, but up to the present little or no succes.s 

 attended the efforts, Ten years ago some of the older members of 

 clubs, almo,st forgotten, go't together and the result was that tempo- 

 rary success crowned their intentions to make Chicago a yachtmg 

 port. For a little while only though, for squabbles arose over 

 expenses connected with regattas, and the men who loved the .sport 

 for the sport itself, and not for wbat money their was in it. got tired 

 of the wrangling and soon dropped out. Many of the yachtsmen of 

 that day were practical sailors, men like Commodore John Prindi- 

 ville, who loved the sailing for itself alone. The fame achieved in 

 such yachts as Frolic, Annie L. Carey, Fleetwing, Ina and Viking 

 excited the envy of men of wealth. These latter entered with zest 

 iijto the pastime, but their ambition was for honors in the regattas. 

 Yachting was popular then and tbe prize winners were considerably 

 envied. But there were men also in the old clubs that never won a 

 prize, and the fact did not lessen their ardor for the pastime one jot: 

 on the contrary, it was constantly, spurring them to greater efforts 

 in building or finding better and faster yachts than the ones that 

 failed to win a prize for them. 



■' f hou.sands. and for that matter, tens of thousands, of dollars were 

 spent by the men of the time referred to in the purchasing or build- 

 ing of craclc vachts. But it was not very long until the lucer-loving 

 ones entered the field, and the true sports and owners found Ihem- 

 selves competing against hired hands for tbe prizes of the regattas. 

 The races deteriorated into a mere mouey-making business, and the 

 old bloods changed their courses and went off on crui.ses by them- 

 selves. 



"Although the'-e were yachts and yacht racing here as far back as 

 twenty years ago, it was not until 1876 tnat a regularly arranged race 

 was held. It came off June 15 of that year, and the popularity of 

 the affair was attested by the thousands of persons who lined the 

 shore of the lake wherever a vantage point was to be found from 

 which to see the race. 



'•The eutrie.s in that regatta were: Fleetwing, commanded by T. 

 M. Bradley, commodore of the club; Frolic, Capt. John Prindiville, 

 chairman'of the regatta committee, Lucy, B. C. Band ; Peri, John P. 

 Quiggs; Zephyr. W. E Barnum; Dawn, William Dean: Lulu, William 



E. Miller; Annie L. Carey, William F. Higgle, vice-cornmodore of the 

 club; Lincoln, Capt. Fergus; Naiad, R. B Kllerton. 



"It was, however, when the Ina, a cutter yacht built at Cape Vin- 

 cent, Canada, was brought down here by her Canadian owners that 

 the greatest possible interest was created. The Ina was 37ft. on the 

 keel, 14ft. benm, and 5ft. depth of hold. She was matched to race 

 the Frolic and ,$8,000 was stalled on the result. The Probe won, but 

 th« result was not satisfactory to either yacht owner and a second 

 contest was arranged. In this trial the Ina came in first, but on ac- 

 count of an error made in rounding a stakeboat the judges gave the 

 decision in favor of Frolic. Great excitement resulted over the de- 

 cision, and all sorts of unfair play were alleged against the Chica- 

 goans by the Ina's people and lots of other Canadians. The papers 

 of thatperiod had columns about the trouble every day for nearly a 

 week, so great was the interest manifestea in the decision. As the 

 race was not satisfactory to the Ina's owner, he immediateiy issued 

 another challenge to the Frolic for any amouht from $2,500 to $10,600 

 a side. 



"Interest in yachting slackened considerably from 1876 to 1882, 

 when a sort of revival agai" occurrel and was maintained for a 

 couple of years. In August, 1882, a famous crut-^e was made to Mil- 

 waukee in the teeth of a big gale. Although about a dozen yachts, 

 among them the Countess of Dufferin and tne Peri, started otit, only 

 five of them finished tne voyage to the Cream City. The Idler was 

 the first to make her appearance there, and was closely followed by 

 tne Wasp, the Viking, . Mamie and Cora, in the order named. The 

 Countess of Dufferin, the famous schooner yacht which had been 

 brouaht from Cobourg, Ont,, and the Peri were among the yachts 

 that returned to this port after ta.-iting the weatner outside tbe harbor. 

 The Countess, which was built by Cuthbert to beat everything in the' 

 shape of a yacht on sea or lake, now lies a forgotten hulk in the 

 Michigan Basin. The Idler is owned by .lohn Cudahy, and at pre-sent 

 is at Mackinaw. She was built by George Steers, of New Yoi k, and 

 bought by Capt, Prindiville in ]'879. Two years ago she was com- 

 pletel.v overhauled and $26,000 expended in remodeling her under the 

 supervision of the captain. Sne is said to be now iu as good condition 

 as she ever was. The Wasp, which was built for Capt. Prindiville in 

 1883, now has her moorings at Cleveland. She is owned by ex-Mayor 

 Gardner, of that city. The W^asp was buUt on the same lines as "the 

 Greyhound, formerly the Annie Cuthbert. 



"It might be interesting for yachtsmen of the present day to know 

 who the pioneers of the sport were in Chicago, In 1875 the ofBcers of 

 the Chicago Yacht Club were: Com., John Prindiville; Vice Com., 

 T. M. Bradley; Bear-Corn., W. F. Higgle; Sec'y, C. E. Kremer; Treas., 

 Louis Wahl; Meas., W. W. Bates. Executive Committee: William C. 

 Lyon, Joun A. Farrow, John Q. Fergus. Thomas B. Mfller, W. H. 

 Barnum. Regatta Committee: W. H, Mc Henry, Arthur O. Ducat, 



F. W. S. Brawley. V^. P. Wentworth, E. C. Baud 



•'As has been stated at the outset, there is a big revival of yachting 

 on hand, and lovers of the sport predict that Chicago will socn again 

 be a yachting port of no rnean iniportance. The Columbia Yacht 

 Club may well be given the credit as pioneers in the movement.''
